When I open those in Avidemux, the audio and video are out of sync, and adjusting the Audio Shift does nothing.
These are vidoes of a concert I played with a couple of friends, and would like to cut the extraneous bits out and then make DVD's... but not working with Avidemux... I tried Open Shot Video Editor, but it's a screwy program... once I start to play the video, there is no way to stop it!! I deleted some of the beginning before we started playing, and then exported the file, and the program did not delete what I thought I had deleted, but saved it as blackness on the screen. So, that program fails...
Are there ANY decent programs for video for Linux? I've searched and have come up pretty empty... I might be forced to actually use the Windows 7 that came on my laptop just for this... I haven't even run it yet in the year that I've had it... running XUbuntu on there as well...
Anyway, video editing NOT a Linux strong suit, imho....
I have a similar camera, that makes MTS files, and I use script files with ffmpeg to decrease the bitrate of my video clips to make them playable also on computers with less horsepower. It works for me either with the default codec for mp4 or with the x264 codec. I also use Openshot to edit and compose video clips and photos to a nicer movie.
I use them in Ubuntu Studio. Maybe the software comes better set up in Ubuntu Studio, which uses the Xubuntu desktop environment (with XFCE). And to get snappy graphics I install LXDE
Code:
sudo apt-get install LXDE
